President Obama's first stop in Los Angeles this evening was an unscheduled detour to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles.

Roscoe's is famous -- a soul food chain that's been featured in the movies "Swingers" and "Jackie Brown," and mentioned in song.
Details from the pool report:

Pool had to enter from the rear, to see booths full of early-dining families stretching and craning their necks excitedly to watch POTUS, who already was at the counter ordering for himself and nearby aides, including Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney, David Plouffe and Marvin Nicholson.

According to photo, Obama ordered the No. 9, "Country Boy," which includes wings with a choice of waffle, potato salad or french fries.

POTUS, coatless and shirt sleeves rolled, then walked to one side of the restaurant and greeted the diners in each vinyl-covered booth. After he’d shaken hands and chatted with a young African-American boy who looked to be about 10, and moved on, the boy turned to the white man he was dining with and said, "I’m never going to wash my hand again."

For minutes afterward he continued to hold his left hand aloft, fingers spread, as his eyes followed POTUS around the room as if in wonder.

The president posed for cellphone photos and made the rounds of the room, greeting patrons.

One man with a woman and two children said to them, "He sounds just like he does on TV!"

None of Flotus's veggies for this guy! Hope he has the number of Clinton's cardiologist. He may need it sooner than he thinks! Now its off to San Fran and Denver on our dime to raise his dirty money. Have a great day Barry! Does he qualify for 99 weeks of unemployment if he doesnt get re elected?

What a farce. The Dictator in Chief Obama bans the press from his fundraisers with the Hollywood rich and famous, but poses at the waffle house. Give me a break. The fact that the MSM allows this farce to continue is a discredit to the field of journalism. Impeach the Dictator in Chief Obama for his criminal payoff to Kaiser/Solyndra.

The President is well on his way to reelection. This is why the haters are just blowing hot air. Nothing the haters or the republican party can do to beat him because his has been a terrific President. And can do more if it was not for republicans. This is why President Obama and his administration is again out front and not letting the republican nominees have an inch of political ground. The President is out creating jobs right now by executive orders he can take and not waiting for the dysfunctionally republican controlled house of representatives. Good move Mr. President. Give'm hell Mr. President. As long as the President continues this strategy and tactics he is going to be a shoe in for reelection because the republicans in DC, the states, and their nominees have nothing to run on. And the American peoplem who are being helped by the President's policies are not going vote republican. The American people are smart enough to know not to vote against the President who is offering up solutions to them in these trying times.

@Mr Childs-Some great talking points there. Did you go to the school of Harry Reid's propoganda spewing? Now if I mention how low your King's poll numbers are maybe you will bring up Harry Truman and how he won with low poll numbers right? Well I can tell you if Obama had been president during Mr Truman's time we would all be speaking Japanese right now......wise up buddy....Barry isnt doing anything but spending your childrens and grandchildrens money so he can get re elected. And Harry Reid is the one stalling all of the House's bills that would help the economy and the jobless.
